That is tough! I have not personally had experience with the change in drinking water effecting my tummy but everyone is different and some people are more sensitive than others. <br /><br />Thanks for the shoulder punches and high fives everyone! And yes it's true that damn ribbon exists, I wish I wasn't making it up. <br /><br />Walking Queen I believe it's mostly bad genes that cause it but flare-ups can be caused by change in diet, anti-biotics or stress. I believe stress and the anti-biotics are what did me in. <br /><br />I just returned from the hospital ysterday so I have more on this lovely topic.Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00424629265129328431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1969983232561751414.post-51409165499948207392009-09-25T18:50:23.743-07:002009-09-25T18:50:23.743-07:00Big hugs to you as you deal with your un-sexy dise...Big hugs to you as you deal with your un-sexy disease. You are SO funny! I never thought of it that way but yeah, I'd rather have something with cool fun celebs and pretty ribbons too. (The brown & red ribbon is HILARIOUS. Ick.) I didn't know JFK and Ike both had Crohn's. Interesting. My neighbor's 7th grader just got diagnosed and I am watching her firsthand dealing with him and yep, it sucks. So sorry. <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by my blog on my Sits Day last week:-)Juliet Grossmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01752446390442788766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1969983232561751414.post-52306243219000450952009-09-24T23:10:31.419-07:002009-09-24T23:10:31.419-07:00What causes it?

I have a friend who has crohn's and I have no clue how she handles it as well as she does. I admire her for it. <br /><br />Also - the ribbon? Wow. Color choice.

She merely tolerates it and waits for it to pass. Which can make for a miserable woman, thats for sure. When her mouth is all swollen and aflame, her lower back is hurting, I know exactly what is coming and I try to make sure there are soothing things on hand for her mouth. Jello. Pudding. She especially likes Fudgiciles. I think she is too embarrassed to talk about it with every new doctor she sees, with every new state she moves to that she just gave up and decided to live with it as it is. I am curious-- have you noticed whether water has made any difference? I mean, if we go on vacation and she drinks water there for a few days, a bout of UC will show up. Because of the different water?Furry Bottomshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06126096393524594755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1969983232561751414.post-59981523541576753262009-09-21T14:22:16.810-07:002009-09-21T14:22:16.810-07:00Ok shoulder punching would be perfect!

I'd be interested in hearing about things from your perspective. She has moments where she is terrified of leaving the house, which I understand. Her mouth just flares up so bad all a result of her disease. The only thing is... she refuses to take meds for it! So, I am not here to pity you. I am not here to hug you. I am not here to give you any advice. I'm here to read about you and since this is a part of you, I'm very interested in hearing how it goes for you. I gasped so loudly at the ribbon. Brown and red?! That is so wrong! So very wrong I can't help but giggle a little at it. Whoever came up with that is an idiot, indeed.Furry Bottomshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06126096393524594755noreply@blogger.com
